Greek yoghurt really the miracle protein fix it's made out to be?
Greek yogurt’s recent surge is being driven by two TikTok trends, including “protein-maxxing” and a dessert hack that mixes Biscoff biscuits into yogurt, dubbed a “Japanese cheesecake.” Some social posts claim “Greek-style” yogurt is worse for you than “Greek,” or that other yogurts like plain natural are inferior, while also criticizing products with long ingredient lists. A key differentiator is that Greek yogurt is “strained not stirred,” which removes whey, thickens the product, and concentrates protein; traditional Greek yogurt can be strained three times. In Australia, “Greek yoghurt” is not protected by name, so labeling may vary. Authenticity depends on checking ingredients and nutrition per 100 grams, with examples cited as Chobani and Evia.
